About this listen

 Join veteran music critic Leonard "Lenny" Vaughn as he dissects Kendrick Lamar and SZA's masterful collaboration "Luther" in this deep-dive analysis. Lenny explores the song's reverent sampling of Luther Vandross's 1982 duet "If This World Were Mine," the creative synergy between two of hip-hop and R&B's most vital voices, and the production genius of Sounwave and Jack Antonoff. From the track's genesis as a cross-generational dialogue to its sophisticated blend of 1980s R&B and contemporary hip-hop, this episode reveals how great artists honor the past while pushing music forward. Lenny's signature blend of encyclopedic knowledge and passionate storytelling illuminates why "Luther" represents more than just a collaboration—it's a cultural statement about artistic legacy and the continuity of Black musical excellence.
